Authenticity: Discovering the Truth of Who We Are
TBC Vesak Silent Retreat
May 15th - May 18, 2024
with Robert Brumet and Victor J. Dougherty
Unhappiness can occur when people are not living their lives in a way that is congruent with their authentic selves. Many people get stuck on the proverbial "hamster wheel" of life--an endless cycle of work and household responsibilities and obligations. Seldom do they pause to reflect about who they really are or why they do what they do. The lack of deeper meaning or connection to their work and life roles causes them to shift into autopilot--a state of unconsciousness and stagnation. They become disconnected from their true selves, their relationships and even the world around them. Join Temple Buddhist Center as we dive deeply into the nature of mind and discover the truth of living authentically.
This four-day retreat will be led by Robert Brumet, Victor J. Dougherty with additional support from TBC Staff. The retreat will be hybrid and begins 7pm Wed. May 15th and ends 4pm Saturday May 18th.
Meditate with us.
In this video, our Sangha member Jordan offers a guided meditation that can be done any time of day, and repeated as often as you like. This is a 30 minute video, with periods of silence, as well as a Metta practice at the end. Temple Buddhist Center offers thirty-minute midday meditations every Wednesday at Noon on our Facebook page.
There is value in consistent, daily meditation.
Please join us for some of these weekly mindfulness and meditation events. TBC hosts opportunities daily, weekly and monthly to meditate together in community with a leader/teacher to guide and support you.
Most of our classes, retreats, and events have an online option via either Livestream, Facebook Live, or Zoom, in addition to in-person. No matter how you choose to join us, you will feel included and welcome.
